Yeah its not that hard for dealer parts to cost more than the bike is worth.  My bike had a parts estimate (no labor) of over 4500 on a bike that was worth about 2500.

My god AlphaFire. I'm surprised you're still alive after that.

I asked this before but never heard anything. I'm curious what totalling out your bike does to your insurance. Does it just go way up, or is it a reasonable rate hike?

Doesn't go up at all unless you're at fault.

Hahaha. Yeah, you can see how that passenger peg USED to be positioned. And the front right peg, too.

Yeah. It wouldn't have been so bad had there not been a curb. Could have walked away at the very least. The curb did a lot of damage to that bike, too.
